SYSCOMM INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   The condensed  consolidated  financial statements of SysComm  International
     Corporation  (the  "Company")  are unaudited  (except for the balance sheet
     information  as of September 30, 1999,  which is derived from the Company's
     audited financial statements) and reflect all adjustments  (consisting only
     of normal recurring  adjustments)  which are, in the opinion of management,
     necessary for a fair  presentation of the financial  position and operating
     results for the  interim  periods.  The  condensed  consolidated  financial
     statements  should be read in conjunction with the  consolidated  financial
     statements and notes thereto, contained in the Company's Annual Report. The
     results of operations  for the three months ended December 31, 1999 are not
     necessarily  indicative  of the results  for the entire  fiscal year ending
     September 30, 2000, or any future interim period.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.

Results of Operations:
Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31,
1998.

Net loss for the three months ended December 31, 1999 was $748,000 compared to a
net profit of  $511,000  for the same  period  last year.  This  decrease in net
income was the result  primarily of lower sales  volume.  Diluted loss per share
was $.16 for the three  months ended  December 31, 1999  compared to earnings of
$.11 for the same period last year.

Revenues:
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1999 were $11,725,000  compared
to  $27,329,000  for the same period last year,  a decrease  of  $15,604,000  or
approximately  57.1%.  The overall decrease in sales is the result of a delay in
customer  commitments  to new  projects  until  the  effects  of Y2K  are  fully
understood   and  the  effect  of  the  Company's   decision  to  terminate  its
participation in the IBM Authorized Assembler Program in April 1999.

Gross Profit:
Gross  profit as a percentage  of sales  increased to 10.9% for the three months
ended  December  31, 1999  compared to 10.4% for the same period last year.  The
improvement  in gross profit over the prior year is primarily  the result of the
Company's strategic emphasis on serving the information  technology  marketplace
with  mid-range  systems and  increasing  demand for the  Company's  value-added
services.

Selling and Administrative Expenses:
Selling and administrative expenses increased by $333,000 or approximately 17.5%
to  $2,234,000  for the three  months  ended  December  31,  1999 as compared to
$1,901,000 for the same period last year.  This increase is primarily the result
of the Company's  emphasis to increase the training and skill levels of our work
force to better serve the mid-range marketplace and provide a full compliment of
e-business solutions and consulting services.

Interest Expense:
Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 1999 decreased  $56,000
or  approximately  55% to $46,000  from  $102,000 for the same period last year.
This decrease is due to a reduction in borrowings  against the Company's  Credit
Facility as a result of the  Company's  reduction in inventory to $707,000  from
$1,183,000 for the same period last year and the associated cost to finance this
inventory.

Income Before Income Taxes:
Loss  before  income  taxes for the three  months  ended  December  31, 1999 was
$998,000  compared  to income of $852,000  for the same  period last year.  This
decrease of  $1,850,000  was  attributable  to the  Company's  decrease in sales
volume.

Taxes:
The Company's  effective tax rate was 25.0% for the three months ended  December
31, 1999 compared to 40.0% for the same period last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The  Company's  current  ratio at December  31, 1999 and 1998 was 2.47 and 1.60,
respectively. Working capital at December 31, 1999 was $8,466,000, a decrease of
$1,371,000  from the same period last year.  The decrease in working  capital is
the result of the losses  sustained by the Company in fiscal 1999 and reductions
in current assets relative to current liabilities.

Cash  provided  by  operating   activities  was   $1,340,000   and   $1,437,000,
respectively,  for the three  months  ended  December  31,  1999 and  1998.  The
decrease was  attributable  primarily to reductions  in the Company's  inventory
levels. Cash used in investing  activities was $48,000 and $13,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively,  and was used to purchase
furniture  and fixtures and office  computer  equipment.  Cash used in financing
activities  during the three months ended December 31, 1999 and 1998 was $82,000
and $229,000,  respectively,  and represented payments of long-term debt and the
purchase of treasury stock during such periods and net payments of $178,000 made
under the Supplier Credit Facility in 1998.

Year 2000 Compliance

The Company  believes  its computer  equipment  and software are fully year 2000
compliant  based on its review of  transactions  since the close of the calendar
year ended December 31, 1999. No discernable year 2000 compliance-related issues
or problems  have occurred  since  December 31, 1999.  The Company  believes any
possible  occurrences that may develop are likely to be minor and inexpensive to
correct.
